When it comes to choosing a hair dye, is there really a difference between dye used for men’s hair versus women’s hair? The answer is more complicated than you may think. Scientifically speaking, there’s no difference between men’s and women’s hair. But culturally speaking, in terms of styles and needs, there are some significant differences, which is why men who dye their hair can benefit more from a hair dye that is suited to their particular needs.
Men typically cut their hair much shorter than women, which means they will likely have to dye their hair more often. Roots showing on shoulder-length hair may not make a significant impact, but if a hairstyle is only one inch long to begin with, ‘roots’ could be someone’s entire head of hair. Having shorter hair also means that men typically have less hair to dye than women, which means hair dye geared towards men contains less product or comes in a resealable container.
The aesthetic men are aiming for with hair dye also differs from women, who often want full coverage. Men are often looking to cover grays at the temple and hairline and need a semi-permanent hair dye that provides more natural coverage.
If you’re ready to cover or blend your grays, these hair dyes for men will do the trick.
